President Trump said Friday that construction of his promised border wall would start "immediately" after signing the omnibus spending bill, which included $1.6 billion in funding for the wall.
"We're going to be starting work literally on Monday," Trump said during an event Friday at the White House. "We have a lot of money coming to the border."
Trump had threatened earlier Friday to veto the spending bill Congress passed on Thursday because it did not include sufficient funding for the wall and because it omitted expiring protections for young, undocumented immigrants.
I appreciate your confidence in my abilities. All I wanted was a page number in the bill. I’ll be happy to read it myself.
My brother, you are already missed.
no worries... funding of killing babies is in there.
Many are in denial here. It is an understandable mental defense to what happened to us. Planned baby murder was FULLY funded in the bill trump signed 100%. The wall was funded absolutely ZERO.
I wonder what the naysayers here on FR now have to say ?

Probably the same thing my wife would say to me if I told her I was replacing our existing front door with a high-security door before we went out of town on an extended vacation and she found the existing door gone and the replacement high-security door to be nothing more than a flimsy cheap wooden full screen door.
and where are the Never Trumper Freepers who had their panties in a twist on Friday night?
Let’s all visit the few threads and name names of all those Cruz Freepers who went leftard for a few monents..
“I will never vote Trump”
‘MAGA IS DEAD’ (lol)—that was the most retarded
Fotunately it is a bill, not a budget
Obama set a precedent of spending money allotted via a bill any way the President wants.@POTUS can do the same
Up the $'s for the wall and don't fund Planned Parenthood one cent
They don't need tax money they make BILLIONS of dollars per yr— Slip Stream News (@GaryZPon) March 24, 2018
“They will over time as the President implements FAIR trade.”
And starts taxing “remittances” the illegals make to family in Mexico. You no havie evidence you paid US Income Tax on this money? So solly, you get to leave 50% of it with Western Union who will send it on to the IRS! Better still, station ICE agents at a few places that do money orders for Mexicans, and pick up and deport the senders. Talk about putting a crimp in their lifestyles. These little pinches will be taking a cagada in their shorts not being able to send money home.
and my favorite comment I saw more than 100 TIMES Friday...
‘MARK MY WORD, TRUMP WILL NEVER BUILD THE WALL, YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT?”
ugh, who said.that?
I was lurking on Friday and didnt comment. I knew Trump had something up his sleeve...
Those naysayers are now in hiding. I have an idea, will FR allow me to post the actual comments by these CLOSET HILLARY LOVERS/NEVER TRUMPERS from Friday’s threads?
it was this clown who replied to Freeper beergarden
Everyday FReepers jumping on trolls and disruptors and pinging the Viking Kitties so we could do some proper vetting, piling on and possibly getting in on dining on the victim's carcass.
They’re here. Just keep reading :-)
Insufferable, aren’t they?
Any redirection of Defense funds would have to be re-authorized by Congress. The defense budget is line item specific and is not discretionary.
And Arrowhead1952, my neighbor...... *sob*
Me too. What we had was a collapse of principal. We got defeated. No we just got screwed. But there is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Since trump just gave up, we give up to.
I defended trump and lost two good long time friends over it. I wish I had my friends back now.
